A brilliant new reading of the Bayeux Tapestry that radically alters our understanding of the events of 1066 and reveals the astonishing story of the survival of early medieval Europes greatest treasure.‘Here is an author who could easily make a living writing thrillers because it is precisely this technique he has applied to this highly readable bookWe are left chapter after chapter on the edge of our seat wondering what unexpected rabbit will next be pulled out of the Tapestry's hat, if one can
use the expression. . . . a haunting book.’ Roy Strong, Daily Mail
'An often gripping yarn … Bridgeford gives an exciting account of the tapestry's busy drama and engaging realism.' Daily Telegraph
